Overview
- Detroit moved Davenport to injured reserve hours before Monday night’s game in Baltimore, making him eligible to return no sooner than Week 7 against the Buccaneers, with the team’s bye in Week 8.
- NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the injury as a pectoral strain, and Dan Campbell said the team does not believe it is season-ending.
- Davenport was hurt after a Week 2 sack of Bears quarterback Caleb Williams; the listing shifted from shoulder to chest during the week and he was seen with his arm in a sling.
- With Davenport out, Muhammad is expected to start opposite Hutchinson, and the Lions elevated tight end Ross Dwelley from the practice squad as a corresponding move.
- The setback continues Davenport’s run of injuries—he will have missed 16 of 20 possible games with Detroit—and has renewed outside discussion of adding veteran edge depth, with media floating names from free agency or trade markets.
